A straggler Swainson's Thrush appeared in the net this morning. The other birds we caught today were breeding birds. We did catch a couple returning Yellow Warblers and Northern House Wren. Might as well gather some info on the breeding birds if I am here. *7 New Banded Birds* Western Wood-Pewee- 1 Swainson's Thrush- 1 Lark Sparrow- 1 Bullock's Oriole- 3 American Robin- 1
*3 Returning birds banded another season* Northern House Wren- At least 4 years old- banded as an adult last spring Yellow Warbler- 2- male and female- banded last spring as second-year birds= each 3 years old
Thanks again to all the volunteers who made this season operate smoothly. Thanks also to the fellow birders who shared information about birds and their natural history. Tomorrow is the last day of spring banding. The Aiken Audubon Site says there is a waiting list for anyone to visit the ranch tomorrow. Guess someone thinks it is going to be a big bird day! Or just want to visit the last day before fall season. :)
Have a good day and all the best for a good summer!
